I got to watch this and record it from BBC World, as it is broadcasted here
in Portugal via cable stations.
Although I've seen half of it so far, Robin seemed rather too much bones on
his face for me. Even with his macrobiotic diet, I've seen better days.
I thought being weird the comparision of the Gibbs with acts like Britney
Spears and Justin Timberlake. But Robin had a very sharp answer between his
phrases - who writes the songs for those acts? Certainly not those acts
themselves. Where's that talent?
I still have to see the rest, as I've been under the weather.

They are popular programs. The Gibbs always gravitate to what is popular.

I think that was part of it. The family was concerned because of his overus=

during the backlash. =20
They loved all those #1 hits and huge success of The Fever period and that =
rare kind of fame it brought them. They hated the negative effects of overe=
xposure and that wicked backlash. But, they' re connected. In a way, they c=
ouldn't have it both ways.
What was very unfair was the extent of the backlash. It went on so long and=
was so sever, particularly in the U.S.
